Sharp, colourful and every bit as good as those posted here. I like best the balloon blower, steps and claypso.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Nice varied set. Chatty sark keel is a fascinating photograph, and the portrait of your wife is terrific. Thanks for posting these

Its a bright and nicely varied set. The image quality from your k3 & lenses looks excellent. That first shot is very effective, a most dramatic viewpoint, and a good balanced exposure.
I also like the panorama shaped one from Greenwich Park, which is nicely composed with plenty for the eye to follow. Did you manage to get one when the sun was shining on the docklands buildings? Also I get the feeling that its tilting a little to the right.
The balloon man is also really good, nice timing and beautiful soft light. The rocket is perhaps weakest here with too much dark space around. But overall a great set ... Lets hope you get back to London again very soon

An interesting and varied set. I particularly like the Steps, balloon Man and the portrait of your wife, I think that they are excellent.

A lovely set Naim, nothing wrong with these at all. The balloon blower and the steel band man are my favourites.

Thanks for your comments - much appreciated.
McGregNi:
The panorama shaped shot is actually a panorama - I stitched 6 shots ( I think) using Microsoft ICE. I have looked at it again and maybe it's my age but can't appreciate any tilt. As for the shot of the rocket - yes it is the weakest, I agree. I had something in mind which doesn't seem to have worked.

Maybe the tilt is more a secondary effect of some distortion ... Is there an option in ice to adjust for this, it gives the impression of having pincushion distortion? But what do others think? Is it distortion or is it tilted rightwards?
If you could have sat the camera down steadily then I think the rocket image would be a great candidate for in-camera HDR.

There's nothing wrong with your pictures. 1 and 4 are my favourites.

If you could have moved the cloud out of the way, so the sun was shining on the buildings, in the panorama it would have been perfect.
Seriously they are a really good set, all of them. Thanks for letting me see them.
